Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
THE COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY/TREASURER, AND RECORDING SECRETARY IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE LOCAL'S EXECUTIVE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD USES COMPENSATION DATA FROM COMPARABLE LOCAL UNIONS AND DISCUSSES THE COMPENSATION. THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION IS DOCUMENTED IN THE EXECUTIVE BOARD'S MEETING MINUTES.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
